Hard to compare indivisible and DSA. One is an increasingly politically relevant and powerful organizing infrastructure. The other is an antiquated ism factory with no theory or practice of political power.

Know better than to trust phrasing of anon quotes, but it would be hard to mock up a better caricature of a dem pol being buffeted about by “the groups” than this. “the nutrition people, they’re worried about running out of nutrition” 😩
